Event information
"Gregory Alan Isakov makes quietly lush, deeply vibrant music more rooted in the starry night sky-like the one on the cover of his latest LP-than any terrestrial locale." - Paste Magazine
Originally from Johannesburg, South Africa, Gregory Alan Isakov's song-craft lends to the deepest lyrical masterpieces. With hints of his influences, Leonard Cohen, Iron and Wine, Gregory Alan Isakov has been described as "strong, subtle, a lyrical genius" and has shared the stage with touring artists such as Calexico, Mumford & Sons, Fiona Apple, DeVotchka, and Brandi Carlile. He has performed throughout the United States and Europe and appeared at numerous music festivals such as South By Southwest, Telluride Bluegrass Festival and Rocky Mountain Folks Fest. Gregory has toured solo and with his band "The Freight", and has released a quartet of albums.

Plus, from New England, USA
Chris Pureka
"A New England folkie with a parched, wounded voice and a mean way with an acoustic guitar, Pureka makes romantic depression seem, somehow, invigorating."-LA Daily News
"An interviewer asked Chris Pureka to sum up her music as a haiku. I will: Folky sorrowful songs of loneliness and hurt, longing to reunite. Her tunes have the grave Appalachian flavor of Neil Young and Gillian Welch; her guitar playing is subdued but quietly virtuosic. And her voice can be a desolate whisper or a bitter accusation. There's no comfort, for her, in the clarity of her observations." - John Pareles, THE NEW YORK TIMES
